ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

Agent Hardy (John Travolta), an ex-Ranger turned DEA agent is called to interrogate the two men who made it
out alive after a Ranger training exercise went terribly wrong. The exercise was led by a hard-nosed commander (Samuel L. Jackson) who
took six Rangers into the jungles of Panama during a hurricane. Also with Connie Nielsen, Harry Connick Jr. and Taye Diggs. [1:35]

SEX/NUDITY 5 - A man flirts with a woman in a few scenes, making sexual remarks and suggestions. A woman licks a man's
cheek. Women call to a man on a balcony inviting him to come and dance with them. A man talks about being gay and being in the military. A
topless woman dances in a street carnival (we see her bare breasts). A man showers (we see his bare shoulders) and wraps a towel around
his waist (he's bare to the waist). Another man is bare-chested. A woman's shirt hangs open exposing part of her bra and breast. A man
scratches his crotch.

VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A trickle of blood comes out of a man's ear and then he vomits copious amounts of blood; and we see blood
dripping from his arm and hand. A man shoots a man in the head (we see blood on his forehead and a spray of blood when he is hit). A man
is shot repeatedly, he yells and falls back. A man is stabbed in the abdomen (we see him bloody), another man is held with a knife to his
throat, a woman is shot in the back repeatedly, gunfire is exchanged inside a shelter and a man is shot in the leg. A man is shot 2-3
times, and is knocked back and out of his chair. A man holds a gun toward another man who knocks his hand, the gun fires and shoots yet
another man (we see blood spray). A man fires an automatic weapon and bullets spray hitting a woman and two men (one man is wounded and
the others are killed). A man lies dead on the ground, smoldering, after having been hit by a white phosphorus grenade. A man lies dead on
the ground in a puddle of blood with a bloody bullet hole in his head. A man is shot repeatedly in the back. A man carrying a wounded man
over his shoulders runs through thick jungle while being shot at by another man, the first man shoots back and kills him (we see this
scene several times). A man fires a gun in the air, grabs a man and shoves him toward a spinning propeller. We see a man in an operating
room with blood on a leg wound and the surgeons talk about him having a "bleeder." A woman hits a man hard in the face with a phone book;
he is knocked back off his chair and his nose bleeds. A woman shoves a man through a door, kicks him to the floor, he gets up and grabs
her around the neck. A woman pulls a gun and threatens a man with it. A man lunges at a man knocking him down and a woman hits him in the
head with a gun. A woman shoves and punches a man. Rangers rush through thick jungle firing their weapons at wooden targets. A group of
Rangers trudge through thick jungle during a heavy downpour carrying very heavy packs (they seem to be struggling); one man holds onto a
rope while dangling over a cliff while being quizzed. The roof of a shelter blows in on people inside. A helicopter with six Rangers and
their commander flies through heavy rain and wind at night and they drop to the ground from cables. A woman goes into a dark building,
draws her gun and approaches a man. A man talks about white people hanging African-Americans on a whim. A man talks about having been
threatened by another man, by saying he'd "...slice him from stem to stern." We hear about the large numbers of people who died while
building the Panama Canal and the "inventive" ways used to dispose of the bodies. A man points his finger (in the shape of a gun) at another
man. A woman yells at a man and pounds on a table. People dance and parade in a street carnival wearing scary costumes (animals with large
pointed teeth, skeletal faces, etc.).

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
